Creating PDF Scope Documents from Photos
I need the ability to take any number of photos and combine them into one PDF document. This allows you to markup photos or put photos together and then provide these to a crew or the customer so they can see what needs to be completed.
Right now I have to upload the photos, mark them up and then download all the files. Convert them to a PDF on my computer and then upload the file. This is highly inefficient.

Having the ability to create REAL photo reports would be amazing. I absolutely refuse to pay for a third-party company to create forms when we pay for THIS software that has it built in but refuses to update it. Therefore, I have started editing via html and making the forms do what I want (to an extent).
My work-around:
Create a document template that you can use to create this report. I uploaded screenshots of my exact template from a dummy-account and the results after creating it in a job.
You MUST go into the photos and mark-up or comment on each one you want to include in the report before adding them. If you add a photo and see that maybe you grabbed the wrong photo and forgot the description, you have to go out and edit the photo, then edit the document and resave it. This is a bit of a hassle, but it works! It's not the cleanest document as you cannot edit the layout, but again - it works. I hope this helps someone else while we wait for updates that actually HELP us.
